Commander behavior and course of action selection in JWARS

The Joint Warfare System (JWARS) is being equipped with a Commander Model (CM) to perform situation assessment and Course of Action (COA) selection, and a Commander Behavior Model (CBM) to bias decisions with a commander's leadership style. The CM is a hybrid artificial intelligence system that models doctrine through the use of fuzzy rule sets, together with a tree-based lookahead algorithm for the strategy. The CBM employs behaviorbased fuzzy rule sets to augment the CM in assessing the situation, and in biasing the COA selection criteria. Extending from Myers-Briggs personality traits, the CBM links personality traits to military attitudes, consequences and values. Employing the fuzzy rule sets, the resulting sets of values are combined to select a specific COA with an auditable trail. Users will have the ability to modify both the input parameters and the underlying rules. The CM/CBM is applicable to decisions at multiple echelons.
